Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B.

Hard to follow the map here. The Packers bypassed quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take James Williams at pick 135, a spot they had covered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Mahogany value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in the 65th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 88th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick 90, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A conviction pick on Dillon Johnson at slot 101 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 135 on James Williams with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
